Quotes of the Month

ABOUT CHOICE & FREEDOM

"Freedom is about Choice and Wellness. Without choice we do not have freedom and risk decent into despair. Freedom however has two polarities. Freedom is not just the right to DO something, it is also the inalienable right to NOT do something! It all hinges on our ability to understand what is right and good for us. Empowered and informed choices usually have positive consequences!" -Larry Larson-
